Tried drawing how I’ve been feeling.
My health is really bad at the moment, I’m really struggling. But, at least I’ve drawn something.

An alicorn for today’s post.
I’m really struggling with my health at the moment. If you don’t know, I have tourrettes and my condition has gotten really bad. I’m struggling with everything, even drawing. So even though this drawing might not be my best, but I’m happy I made something.

Some recent pages in my sketchbook.
I haven’t been able to draw today because I’ve been focusing on uni work, hopefully I’ll get back to it soon.

Another big illustration in my sketchbook. This time it’s an alicorn and a fairy flying through the night.
I’m really enjoying creating these illustrations, unicorns and dragons are my favourite at the moment!!!

Here’s a full illustration I did in my sketchbook yesterday. She ended up looking like Pinkiepie because of the colours I chose😅 Hope you like it✨

My new tiger character, I’m trying to come up with a story for him. He also needs a name, so any ideas are welcome .

New portrait I drew today. I loved the deep shadows in the reference, it made it look so dramatic!!! I really enjoyed drawing this one, I hope you guys like it💜

A green lady portrait.
I am not trying to aim for realism with these portraits, just doing them for fun💚

Another portrait drawn with Crayola super tip pens. I loved how dramatic the shadows were in my reference so I tried my best to capture that.

Tried drawing a portrait with the crayola super tips. I left in the original to show that not every drawing is gonna be great. Sometimes it’s best to start fresh with a new page.
Do you guys enjoy drawing portraits? I’m trying to get better, I think I’m slowly improving…very slowly.
